This is a one-stop business shop with programmes and modules that enhance individual, organizational, community and national economic growth.
Petunia Thomas strategically lays out expertly supported programmes which effectively engage leaders and ensure safe spaces to learn & grow for all participants:
The reality is ‘reciprocal’ as there will always be an element of two-way sharing that creates mutually beneficial outcomes for both parties .
In the context of diversity and inclusion, leaders gain insight into the experiences of someone who is different from them in some way, such as race, ethnicity and gender. As a result, the experiences of the organization, its talent management systems and its culture will be seen through a different lens.
Black and Ethnic Minority Talent Programme
Expertly delivered Sponsorship Programmes
Petunia advocates for junior Black and Ethnic Minority diverse talent. This is akin to a strategic partnership – implicitly or explicitly – and has a measurable impact on career progression.
Bespoke Training & Workshops
Petunia Thomas is an experienced, skilled and highly professional facilitator with over thirty years of expertise working with senior leaders in business.
She designs and delivers high quality, tailored and effective programmes: Black and Ethnic Minority Career Development, Reverse Mentoring and Sponsorship Programmes, as well as Board and Executive level D&I Workshops.
Inclusive Leadership for Culture Change
'Race' Fluency Modules for the C-Suite & Senior Leaders
These sessions provide a safe, supported, confidential environment for senior leaders and managers to explore, share and learn in order to prepare for and engage in conversations about race and ethnicity without feeling awkward. They will also explore how structural and systemic issues of race in society permeate the office and workplace, and develop a personal, practical and organisational action plan to contribute to eradicating them.
Testimonials
Sharon Doherty,
Global HRD
Vodafone
With a supportive style, yet `stretching` us, Petunia was able to engage and work effectively with our senior leaders embarking on a new programme with a different approach. She was also great at connecting with our diverse talent who were extremely positive about their training and coaching sessions with her.

Pinsent Masons
We’ve been working with Petunia for over two years, and I have to say, that she has turned around the concept of mentoring in our firm. Reciprocal mentoring has now become something of a flagship programme.

Suzanne Hughes,
HR C.O.O
Santander UK
The set up for our first reverse mentoring programme, expertly managed by Petunia, was both a productive and enjoyable learning experience that delivered results for us. Members of our Exec team engaged personally, gaining new and deeper insights from colleagues in under-represented groups, and we have since embedded the key learnings and insights from the programme to help further our D&I work and strategy across the organisation.
